Hey there, friends! Let's take a trip down memory lane to late August when a piece of Hollywood history rolled up for auction. Elvis Presley and Priscilla Presley's legendary 1960s Delta mobile home was put up for sale in the GWS Auctions' "Legends: Iconic Film & Music Memorabilia Auction." Spoiler alert: it sold for a whopping $67,650! And if you're wondering, yes, that's a lot of dollars for a mobile home—but this isn’t just any RV. This is the King of Rock and Roll we're talking about.
Meet Max Wiggins, a man from Kemah, TX, who didn’t hesitate to shell out the big bucks for this slice of history. When asked about his decision, Max said he’d have paid any price because, well, it belonged to Elvis. This isn’t your average mobile home—it’s a 60-foot-long, 12-foot-wide beauty that Elvis and Priscilla once called their vacation home. Before hitting the auction block, the two-bedroom mobile home was meticulously restored to its original glory. Think gold sinks and a luxurious bathtub fit for royalty—or at least the King of Rock and Roll.

Where Did This Mobile Home Reside?
Now, here’s the backstory. The late King of Rock and Roll and his then-wife, Priscilla, used this mobile home as a getaway spot. They parked it on the 163-acre grounds of their famous Circle G Ranch, located just 10 miles south of Graceland in Horn Lake, MS. This ranch wasn’t just any property; Elvis and Priscilla purchased it in the 1960s, and guess what? They even spent part of their honeymoon there after tying the knot in May 1967. Can you imagine celebrating your marriage in such a stunning setting?
What’s Next for Elvis’ Mobile Home?
Since Elvis reportedly spent some of his happiest years at the Circle G Ranch and in this Delta mobile home, Max Wiggins has big plans. He’s bringing the house trailer back to Mississippi so fans can enjoy it. Max also envisions turning it into an exhibit dedicated to Elvis. But wait, there’s more! He hopes to make it available for fans to rent for special occasions. How cool would it be to host your next party in a piece of music history?
